Reasons for Optimism
Abortion Numbers Lowest in 30 years
In the recent report released by the Alan Guttmacher Institute, a research arm of Planned Parenthood, there were just over 1.2 million abortions performed in 2005, 25% less than the high of 1.6 million in 1990.
The National Right to Life cited an increase in pro-life educational outreach and legislative initiatives as central to the decrease.
According to Randall K. O'Bannon, Ph.D., NRLC director of education and research, "Falling abortion rates are a sure sign that, given truthful information about abortion, about its impact on their lives, about the child growing inside them, and given even the slightest help and encouragement, many women will choose life."
